On Saturday, November 19th, we had our gender reveal ultrasound and found out I am carrying a son! At a little over 16 weeks pregnant (24 to go!) we were able to tell quite quickly and easily that there is a little boy growing in my belly. I cannot express how excited we are to welcome Elijah Latheal Parish to the world and 24 weeks just seems so far away!
Lacy and Rita were a part of TEAM ULTRASOUND, friends and family that were able to join us for this special day. Rita correctly predicted (and not so secretly hoped) that this little baby was going to be one of the "fellas".
Proud parents anxiously awaiting our turn on the table. I just couldn't believe the moment was finally here when I would be able to call our child by his name! Of course a the point this picture was taken, I did not know it was a "him".
Look at the size of that awseome 16 week belly. Just four months ago it was flat as a pancake (well maybe not THAT flat) and now it is ripe and delicious with that growing baby inside!
Sometimes it takes a while to determine the baby's gender, sometimes the Mommy has to walk around a bit and the baby does not cooperate. No sooner had the gel gone on my tummy before she said there was no doubt about it. It's a boy! Elijah was obviously tired of being called Sweet P and "it". He wanted us to know who was in there. He is already a proud baby!
Team Ultrasound was a very special group of friends and family. Grandad (Parish), Elizabeth, Jacob, Lacy and Rita - We are so happy you were able to share this moment with us. I know the rest of our family was there in spirit and shared our joy later in the day. We are so lucky to have such a large family and Elijah will have so many people to love him.
It's a boy!
Yep, definatley a boy!
